At last Ajmal Kasab is hanged

Today (21.11.2012) at 7:30 AM in the Yerrawadi jail of Pune, the lone captured terrorist of the 2008 Mumbai attacks has been sent to the gallows. This piece is the analysis of the horoscope of this terrorist by the aid of nadi astrology principles.

13^th Sep 1987

On 13^th September 1987, Kasab was born in Faridkot village in the Okara District of Punjab, Pakistan, to Amir Shahban Kasab and Noor Illahi.

Jeevakaraka Jupiter is retrograde in Aries having exalted Moon in the 2^nd and Rahu in the 12^th. There is no planet in the 7^th from Jupiter. Moon, actually, becomes a non-entity in judging the longevity. Furthermore, Moon is aspected by her bitter enemy Saturn from Scorpio and hence weak. Behind Rahu there are no planets in the three preceding signs and after Moon there are no planets in the three succeeding signs. Retrogression of Jupiter brings him to Pisces where he joins Rahu and gets the aspect of his enemies Venus and Mercury. Thus the native will have a short life. If there were no Moon in the 2^nd and Saturn in the 8^th he would have died in his infancy.

Karmakaraka Saturn occupies a martian and secret sign Scorpio aspected by an exalted Moon. Sun and Mars are placed in the 10^th to Saturn in a fiery and royal sign Leo while debilitated Venus along with Mercury and Ketu occupy the 11^th. Had there been a direct influence of Jupiter on Saturn by placement in 2^nd, 12^th or 7^th the native would have definitely been in a high position where he would have wielded power. As Saturn does not have any planet in the 12^th and the succeeding three signs and meets Rahu first the native was born into a family of meager circumstances and he himself should have worked sometime on a routine job as a laborer. The most important combination is the presence of exalted Moon in the 7^th to Saturn and 2^nd to Jupiter. This indicates that the native will go to foreign countries to carry out his job. And his job indicated by Sun-Mars combination in the 10^th to Saturn in Leo is the heinous crime of killing innocent people using advanced fire arms. Moon having the association of Saturn and Jupiter in any form indicates a prominent element of religion and spirituality in the life of a native. However that may take negative channels if the association if blemished, which is what happened in this case.

His father is a dahi puri vendor while his elder brother, Afzal, works as a labourer in Lahore. His elder sister, Rukaiyya Husain, is married in the village. A younger sister, Suraiyya, and brother, Munir, live in Faridkot with their parents.

Jupiter, representing the native has Rahu in the 12^th and Moon in the 2^nd. Owing to his retrogression Jupiter moves to Pisces where he gets the aspect of Venus-Mercury-Ketu from Virgo. This indicates the native having one elder brother, one elder sister, one younger brother and one younger sister. Sun, who represents his father is placed in Leo with Mars and has debilitated Venus with Mercury and Ketu in the 2^nd. There are no planets in the preceding two signs of Sun and though exalted Moon occupies the 10^th she is weak because of the aspect of inimical Saturn. This explains that the father is a petty businessman with a meager means of livelihood selling some eatables and earning there from.

He left home after a fight with his father in 2005. He had asked for new clothes on Eid, but his father could not provide them, which made him angry. He then became involved in petty crime with his friend Muzaffar Lal Khan, soon moving on to armed robbery.

In 2005 Saturn was transiting Cancer having his bitter enemies natal Sun-Mars in Leo in the 2^nd. Jupiter was moving over Virgo where his staunch enemies Venus-Mercury are placed in the natal chart. Saturn’s transit in Cancer, the sign of Moon, indicates travels while transit Saturn confronting natal Sun in Leo indicates fighting with his father. Involvement of Mars here with Sun is the main culprit in the horoscope forming a formidable combination of fiery planets in a fiery sign. Thus the approaching of Saturn near this combination had driven the native towards his destination starting with petty crimes and moving over to armed robbery. Added to this the nodes were transiting over their natal positions.

On 21 December 2007, Eid al-Adha, they were in Rawalpindi trying to buy weapons when they encountered members of Jama'at-ud-Da'wah, the political wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba, distributing pamphlets. After a brief chat, they decided to sign up for training with the Lashkar-e-Taiba, ending up at their base camp, Markaz Taiba.

21^st Dec 2007

On the day Kasab decided to join the terrorist organization Saturn was retrograde in Leo over natal Sun-Mars combination and joined with transit Ketu. Jupiter was moving over Sagittarius after crossing Saturn in Scorpio where he has initiated the native’s karma and now approaching Rahu, the dispenser of destiny and the planet of death.

26^th Nov 2008

On the day of the terrorist attack transit Saturn and Jupiter were in Leo and Sagittarius respectively while Mars and Sun were in Scorpio over natal Saturn. Here it can be observed that transit Saturn was activating the natal Sun-Mars combination in Leo while transit Sun-Mars were activating the natal Saturn in Scorpio. Transit Jupiter in Sagittarius has joined his bitter enemy Venus and is confronted by the transit Rahu and is about to enter his debilitation. This position of Jupiter is quite ominous as there are no supporting planetary influences either by aspect or by position in the natal chart. Hence Kasab was caught by the Indian police.

His plea was rejected by President and he was eventually executed on 21 November 2012 in Yerwada Jail in Pune, at 7.30 AM.

21st Nov 2012

It can be observed that today, transit Rahu is moving over natal Saturn in Scorpio while transit Jupiter joins transit Ketu in Taurus opposite to the natal Saturn. Transit Jupiter meeting a node after crossing the natal node without meeting any other natal planets indicates the period of death if the longevity permits. Transit retrograde Jupiter activating the natal Jupiter, Moon and Saturn while transit Saturn activating the natal Jupiter and Saturn - indicates the fruits of karma being enjoyed by the person on a foreign soil. Natal Jupiter meeting Moon-Saturn association first and Sun-Mars in Leo next explains the native having a violent ending in the hands of a foreign government as a punishment of his crimes.
